Vexing vocabulary
from Kind of Blunt · host Adam Williams
Vexing vocabulary runs right through me.This episode is about the words and phrases we use every day — the corporate terminology, the motivational slogans, the social media scripts — and how strangely they sit against what’s actually happening in the world.Everything feels intense and uncertain, and yet we’re still optimising, hustling, announcing, branding.I can’t help but wonder… are we okay?From workplace jargon to online performance, this is a light but pointed look at how the way we speak shapes culture — and how culture shapes behaviour.We’re in a strange loop of liking and subscribing.And somewhere in there, we’ve forgotten how to just speak normally.
